THE Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Transparency Portal, is an expanded and more accessible version of the Sumbong sa Pangulo platform that allows the public to track government infrastructure projects and report suspected anomalies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Secretary Dave Gomez on Tuesday said the portal significantly improves on the earlier complaint system by offering a broader scope of information and a more user-friendly interface, enabling citizens to monitor all DPWH projects nationwide.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAs you can see, maraming pagkakahawig doon sa Isumbong mo sa Pangulo website. Pero mas expanded ito ngayon. If I may say so, parang Isumbong sa Pangulo 2.0,\u201d Gomez said in an interview over TV5.<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. launched the DPWH Transparency Portal on Monday as part of the continuing reforms to stop corruption in public infrastructure projects.<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Marcos started his campaign against anomalous flood control and other infrastructure projects by creating the Ssumbong sa Pangulo website last August 11.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gomez explained that the new DPWH Transparency Portal goes beyond earlier functions that focused mainly on flood control projects, as users can search any DPWH project and instantly view critical details such as the implementing office, contractor, project cost, and status.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cContrary to the initial belief na medyo nakaka-intimidate, napaka-user-friendly ng portal. Sa search bar, i-type mo lang kung ano \u2018yung proyekto gusto mong hanapin\u2014lalabas na lahat ng detalye,\u201d he added, noting that he personally tested the site after its launch.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFrom sino \u2018yung implementing office, sino \u2018yung contractor, to the amount of the project, \u2018yung status ng project, kumpleto doon,\u201d the PCO chief noted.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gomez encouraged the public to regularly use the Transparency Portal to monitor ongoing projects in their communities and report possible irregularities or substandard work.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I encourage the people to use this portal para masubaybayan \u2018yung mga proyekto n\u2019yo on the ground, yung proyekto dyan sa komunidad nyo. At mag-report. Kung tingin nyo talagang may katiwilian sa mga proyekto na yun, gamitin natin itong portal na ito para mag-report. Yun ang purpose ng transparency,\u201d Gomez said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Asked whether the new platform would eventually replace the Office of the President\u2019s Sumbong sa Pangulo website, Gomez said the shift will happen naturally once most reports are turned over and citizens transition to the DPWH-managed system.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cEventually mag fade out na \u2018yung Sumbong sa Pangulo pag hindi na tayo nakakatanggap ng reports diyan at na-turnover na natin sa ICI \u2018yung karamihan ng report. Naturally mawawala na \u2018yan,\u201d the PCO chief said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gomez explained that while the portal is housed under DPWH and developed in partnership with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), the Office of the President will still have visibility over the system.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The DPWH Transparency Portal is expected to strengthen public participation, deter corruption, and enhance accountability in the implementation of infrastructure projects nationwide<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
